There is truth in history, obviously. For example, we can say with certainty there was a WW1 and a WW2. But you're right, I don't think there has ever been such as thing as an impartial Historian.
I remember when I did Elizabeth as my Hx Ex topic. Everything we read that was produced by British historians during her time painted her as a formidable and striking woman. Portraits of her show this dominate and whilst not attractive, somewhat charismatic woman. But if you go on to read about her childhood you would know she suffered from smallpox as a child. Accounts from the Spanish substantiate this story because they describe her as having poc marks on her face.
She also lived to be 67 yet I think there is only 1 portrait of her that shows any aging, she appears almost ethereal in all of the portraits.
So yeah, there is no doubt Elizabeth lived. There is no doubt she did the things she did, but the actual woman will remain a completel mystery to most of us, beause all we have to go by are inaccurate and biased accounts of her personality.
